Be guided around the rolling hills, wooded valleys, ancient towns and abbeys and see it as it is, or remember it how it was .. whatever your memory of Wiltshire and the Cotswolds, this video will not disappoint you. Silbury Hill, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Marlborough, Bradford on Avon and Lacock Abbey are amongst the places visited. Beautifully filmed and narrated, some may wonder how anyone could have left it.

CASTLE COMBE . . a village for all time No video about one village comes better than this. As much a work of art as a historical record of one of England's most timeless villages, the gentle unobtrusive music and obvious love of the place and its history by the narrator, all combine to make this video one of the very best of its sort. Come for a gentle walk and explore, both the place you thought you knew, and more of the one you didn't. If any of our titles can be said to be quintessentially English, this is it. Recommended . . we were entranced. Once again, NTSC at the same price. |

A FALCONER'S TALE . . . an ancient art in a modern world . . . Filmed over a 12 month period, this 4-part TV series has been condensed into a compelling 78 minute story, in which the birds are the true stars. Meet Walnut, the eagle-owl, and Caffrey, a hawk of the type long-favoured by Middle Eastern princes and potentates. A rivetting film in which the birds are seen being trained in stooping to the lure and hunted in the field on a cold winter's day, as well as at organised displays where members of the public can try their hands in the glove. Self-employed falconer, Kevin Riach, explains all aspects of keeping, training, and exhibiting these magnificent birds of prey. Same price for NTSC. NOW ALSO ON DVD |

THE COUNTRYSIDE AT WORK . . old skills in a new milennium A true celebration of the skills of the farrier, waller, hurdle makers, and all the other trades that were once common place but nearly lost. The film gives an incisive insight into the skill and dexterity, indeed the sheer inventiveness, of generations of country people in this ancient land of ours. For each trade that the film covers, this film could be said to be almost a Masterclass, such is the depth of detail and explanation of each craft. The place is Wiltshire, the time, forever .. but this loving portrayal could be anywhere in the England of our fathers. Truly, a Paradise Lost. Same price for NTSC. |
